In a movie, when was the last time you saw a female thug?

I cannot think of one instance no matter how hard I try.
Unless you count storm troopers as thugs. The last Star Wars film had some female storm troopers. You didn't see them, just heard their yelling.
These are the kinds of questions my brain asks when its ridiculously bored.

Some video games have female thugs or the equivalent. Far Cry 5 has them, the first in the series, I think. I could be wrong. Thats assuming you count American cultists as thugs, which I do. Simple, violent, blindly loyal.

A number of James Bond movies have women thugs. A number of martial arts movies have them, too.

The TV show Person of Interest has several over the course of its run.

those were gangster hookers. not quite thugs. they werent stupid blindly loyal head crackers. They're basically soldiers with alternative uniforms. Professional, but different from the norm.
But thats still more than I've seen in most movies.

For some reason this has been stuck in my head.

Kill Bill had the asian schoolgirl thug.

iirc The second Transporter had a pretty bad ass female thug.

In Dumb and Dumber one of the thugs chasing Lloyd and Harry was female.

I've been watching a number of old TV westerns lately and was a little surprised at the number of evil women encountered. They will kill and rob just like the men.

No movies with female thugs, not since I been watching everything I can during quarantine.

But on the X-files first season theres a woman with a ghost husband who keeps protecting her. One female thug and one male break into the womans house and get ghost-murdered.

Harley Quinn count as "Thug" or are we going with "Super-Villian"?

:D

Not a thug exactly, but Charleze Theron plays a couple of pretty bad ass characters in Atomic Blonde and the Mad Max movie with Tom Hardy.

Orange Is The New Black? I guess not technically a movie.

Goodfellas had the girlfriends/wives of the main ensemble. Didn't see them do anything violent but those were not nice people.
